I read in another thread that it's not available for the AT and GReddy has no plans in the future to make such a product.. sorry.

I guess apparently someone contacted GReddy themselves.

I have talked with 2 people at Greddy and both said they were unsure if it would work on the AT because it was only tested on the MT. I always take what Greddy says with a grain of salt because alot of those guys dont know much about their own product.

why would you want a tt? it would probable just be a parallel set up...which would just make the kit a lot more money over a single in our car (since it isn't running a lot of boost...we can get by on a fast spooling smaller turbo=less lag). now if it was sequencial..that would be sweet...but greddy wouldn't make one of those. just my 2 cents

Got to go with army RX8 here. There is no need for a twin turbo setup for this car if the fuel system limitations are as advertised. Right now people are petering out at around 60-70 hp increases as the returnless fuel line/system is the limitation. A single turbo system can easily give you that kind of increase. The only thing a twin turbo setup would do is add complexity, increase cost to install, and add weight.

True twin turbo setups are even rare for the RX-7 because they are so expensive and dont give anymore HP than one large single. Im sure you can squeeze more HP out of the Greddy kit with some good tuning.

the last gen rx-7's (sold in the us) twin turbo set up was only good for agout 350ish whp..they were great for cutting down on the turbo lag....but they had so many damn hoses that they had a horrible rep for failing. most every rx-7 i've seen (series 6-8) has had their stock sequential turbo's taken out and a single in it's place.:D

I am sure the kit will fit. Also the valve body will be fine at low boost. anything over 10 psi would probally start to shift funky. As far as the kit goes it will work with no problem just have someone re-tune the e-manage.

I raised the pricing due to some complaints from Greddy. You will see some shops have raised their pricing. If anyone is interested in the kit please call me and we can discuss pricing over the phone.

Thanks

Now look at their price and you should thank me for the price you got or you would have paid alot more.

If anyone wants a kit let me know, Im more than willing to discuss pricing.

Yeah, I know.. did GReddy threaten to cut you off from the supply if you guys kept the pricing so low?

I dont think they would cut us off, but probably wouldnt offer any support.
